Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On April 25, 2023, Wilson Bank Holding Company (the “Company”) held its 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Shareholders Meeting”) for which the Company’s Board of Directors solicited proxies, at 6:00 p.m. (CDT). At the Shareholders Meeting, the shareholders voted on the proposals as described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Shareholders Meeting which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”). The proposals voted on and approved by the shareholders at the Shareholders Meeting were as follows:

(1)    The election of three (3) Class I directors named in the Proxy Statement to serve as members of the Company’s Board of Directors for a term of three (3) years until the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2026 and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Each such director was elected by the following tabulation:

In addition to the foregoing, the remaining directors not up for re-election at the Shareholders Meeting continue to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors.

(2)    The ratification of the appointment of Maggart & Associates, P.C. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 was approved by the following tabulation:

(4)   The non-binding advisory vote on the frequency with which the Company should hold future non-binding, advisory votes on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers received the following votes:

1 Year 2 Years 3 Years Abstain Broker Non-Votes
2,284,033 627,844 2,715,696 463,236

In light of selection by the shareholders at the Shareholders Meeting of the option to hold future non-binding, advisory votes on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers every three years, the Company's Board of Directors determined on April 25, 2023 to hold non-binding, advisory votes on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers every three years, until the next required non-binding, advisory vote on the frequency of future non-binding, advisory votes on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers.  The Company is required to hold a non-binding, advisory vote on the frequency of future non-binding, advisory votes on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers no less frequently than every six years.
